The African American Cultural Society Inc. held jazz concert in recognition of African American Music Appreciation Month with live jazz by Rob’s Jazz Express, on Wednesday June 30. The theme of the event was a Hawaiian Luau. This was the center’s first publicly held event since its doors closed, due to the pandemic, in March 2020.  

AACS was encouraged by the more than 130 people who attended. There was line dancing between jazz sets, lot of camaraderie and delicious food. 

Located at 4422 N. U.S. 1, one block north of White View, the AACS will provide a schedule of recurring programs starting in September 2021. The center will be closed in August for renovations in preparation for its 30-year anniversary celebration, Oct. 22-24, with Barbara Lee as the featured speaker.
